Or maybe I’m just tired and hungry, but I’m in love and that’s all that matters. I have a slice of cheese, and it lives up to the hype. It’s from Edison’s, Cleveland’s most-beloved pizza joint. Right before our last scene, Eli, our director, says they’ve gotten some pizzas delivered. I never eat Chipotle, but good god, is it delicious today. I get a little rice and beans, some cheese and sour cream, the corn salsa and the spicy salsa because I care about myself, and then finish it off with lettuce and tomato. I’ve heard him ask people, “Hey, did you know Chipotle has chorizo now?” maybe six times, but I don’t eat pork. Since it’s the last day, lunch is a treat. And add a little sriracha while you’re at it. Kendra, our lovely PA, swings by my room to offer me the usual, which is an egg-and-cheese wrap with mushrooms, spinach, and tomato. But today I’m awake and ready for my day. Anyway, I barely slept because I was having the sugar shakes all night long. Vanilla with salted-caramel swirl, some kind of nuts, and some crunchy something or other. I had an ice cream called the Ohio Buckeye Special, and I don’t even remember what was in it. Adam Scott got us all an ice-cream truck last night, which I participated in even after doing take after take of a scene where I mow down some blueberry doughnuts. It’s our last day, and the hours have been long. Good morning, Cleveland! I’ve been here off and on for the past six weeks filming Little Evil for Netflix. Read all about it in this week’s Grub Diet. Even on the road, Everett keeps things interesting, especially when there’s an ice-cream truck courtesy of Adam Scott, authentic Kansas City barbecue (that includes “deep-fried cream corn”), and a cameo by Nature Boy Ric Flair.

This week, she wrapped filming for a Netflix series in Cleveland before jumping into her Pound It tour (which will be at NYC’s Town Hall next Thursday as part of the New York Comedy Festival). “When I’m traveling, I’m just trying to stay alive,” says Bridget Everett, the actress and cabaret star you may have seen on Inside Amy Schumer and Girls. Everett has toured nationally with Amy Schumer.Bridget Everett, and Poppy, at Joe’s Pub.
Rock Bottom was directed by Scott Wittman and written by Everett, along with Marc Shaiman, Wittman, Adrock of the Beastie Boys and Matt Ray. Bridget was awarded a grant from Joe's Pub in 2013 as part of their New York Voices series. Bridget has appeared at Montreal and Chicago's Just For Laughs Festival, HBO's Aspen United States Comedy Arts Festival, The Adelaide International Cabaret Festival, The San Francisco Sketchfest, and The New York Comedy Festival. Her film, theater and television credits include Inside Amy Schumer, At Least It's Pink, Bridget and Neal are F*cking and Adam Is Watching, Two Broke Girls, Jeffrey Cole Casserole, The Bleep Show w/ Whitney Cummings, Jukebox Jackie and Our Hit Parade. Bridget Everett & The Tender Moments released their debut album of original music in October 2013 featuring the singles Titties, What I Gotta Do and Fuck Shit Up.īridget Everett has been called one of the Funniest People in New York by Time Out. Imagine Freddie Mercury, Richard Pryor and Sophie Tucker had a baby, and then you might be getting close…maybe. Each performance is as explosive as it is unpredictable, welcoming special guests as varied as Fred Armisen, Patti LuPone, Flea, Dan Finnerty (The Dan Band), Tonya Pinkins, Marc Shaiman, Erin Markey, Peaches, Neal Medlyn and Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters) while fans such as Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, Andy Cohen and Lily Taylor can be seen laughing hysterically in the audience. Led by the singing tour de force Bridget Everett, “a mouthy, flesh-jiggling early Bette Midler” (New York Times), the band has sold-out venues nationally and instantly developed a cult-like following with their edgy, sexed-up, punk rock cabaret. Every month Bridget Everett & The Tender Moments bring their funny yet gut-wrenching and outrageous performance to Joe’s Pub at The Public.
